Staircase lighting

The DGN/S 1.16.1 features a function Staircase lighting, which can be triggered and stopped via individual
switch telegrams of the individual lighting groups.
With function Staircase lighting, the other additional functions, e.g. Slave and Sequence cannot be acti-
vated. If the function Staircase lighting e.g. is deactivated via the communication object Activate staircase
lighting (telegram with the value 0), the lighting group behaves like a "normal" group, which can be swit-
ched on and off via the communication object Switch.
The behaviour of the function Staircase lighting is explained in the following.
With active function Staircase lighting and receipt of a telegram with the value 1 on the communication ob-
ject Switch, the staircase lighting sequence for the lighting group is started. One staircase lighting se-
quence is to be set per lighting group. The parameterization is undertaken in the
Gx Staircase
ing is selected for the lighting group.
The staircase lighting sequence is graphically represented in the following illustration:

During the staircase light sequence, the maximum and minimum dimming values (dimming thresholds) ha-
ve an effect.
Behaviour after bus voltage recovery
The behaviour after KNX voltage recovery as well as after Gateway operating voltage recovery is param-
eterized in
covery the function Staircase lighting was active and last status is parameterized, the basis brightness is
set.
Response to switch telegram during the staircase lighting sequence
If the dimming time has not yet been achieved and the DGN/S receives an OFF telegram for the lighting
group, dimming is started immediately. If the function Staircase lighting has already reached the dimming
time or the lighting group is in the process of dimming, when an OFF telegram is received, the basis
brightness is immediately activated, which can also assume the OFF state.
